Hi everyone,
I have an oem 3com modem model 2977 that installs ( downloaded the driver from ftp://ftp.usr.com/OEM%20Files/2977.exe) but when I test the installation it fails to communicate with comports 1, 2 or 3. I found through my wanderings that a companion CD-ROM called "Connections" has the rest of the configuration files to complete the installation for this "oem" modem. I have looked Hi nad Lo with no success. Am I on a wild goose chase? I read in this formum that this modem installs on com5??? could someone confirm that before I go through the whole process again?
thanks so much! - scott

Discovered the answer in www.deja.com In order to install the 2977 properly I had to select update drivers for the PCI serial device within device manager and point it to the directory where I had unzipped 2977.exe
None of the other usual control panel modem installation methods worked. Hope this information helps avoid hours of effort it took to install this "oem" modem.
